Backstage Update On WWE’s Plans For The Hardy’s After Tonight’s NXT On CW, Big Plans In The Works

The Hardy’s are back in WWE—at least for now—and the company is wasting no time capitalizing on their highly anticipated return. Ahead of their comeback on this week’s episode of WWE NXT, WWE Shop has officially dropped a brand-new t-shirt for The Hardy’s, signaling renewed momentum for the legendary duo of Matt and Jeff Hardy.

The Hardy’s are set to appear on NXT tonight, airing live on The CW Network from Cincinnati, Ohio, in what is shaping up to be a significant moment for the black-and-gold brand. However, backstage sources suggest that this is only the beginning. According to WWE insiders, there is growing optimism within the creative team that the former multi-time WWE Tag Team Champions could soon transition to a main roster program, with discussions reportedly underway for a storyline that could unfold in the spring or summer.

Interestingly, while The Hardy’s are stepping back into a WWE ring, they currently hold the TNA World Tag Team Championships, having won the titles in their latest run with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). Their upcoming schedule will see them pulling double duty across promotions, as their WWE return on NXT will be followed by an appearance on TNA iMPACT later in the week.

Following their appearance on NXT, Matt and Jeff Hardy are slated to team up with reigning NXT Champion Oba Femi in a high-stakes six-man tag team match against The System on this Thursday’s pre-taped episode of TNA iMPACT. This cross-promotional dynamic between WWE and TNA continues to fuel speculation about the evolving relationship between the two companies, as talent crossover becomes an increasing reality in the current wrestling landscape.

With fresh WWE merchandise, an NXT return, and a looming main roster run on the horizon, The Hardy’s appear poised for another thrilling chapter in their storied career. Fans will want to keep a close eye on tonight’s NXT broadcast, as The Hardy’s step back into a WWE ring with plenty of excitement—and intrigue—surrounding their future.
